The Barnes VOR-TX .40 S&W 140gr TAC-XP (brand part no. 32006) is built around an all-copper hollow point, a bullet with no lead core to shed and nothing left behind to lose. Barnes designed the TAC-XP bullet to deliver deep penetration and double-diameter expansion, holding onto essentially all of its original weight through the entire wound channel. Rated at 1120 fps, this loading is tuned specifically for the .40 S&W platform rather than adapted from a rifle bullet. In handgun ammunition for personal defense, this is Barnes’ all-copper TAC-XP loading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose an all-copper bullet over a traditional jacketed lead bullet? An all-copper design like the TAC-XP has no lead core to shed, so it retains nearly all of its original weight while still expanding to double its diameter on impact.

Does this bullet expand reliably at handgun velocities? Yes, the TAC-XP is engineered specifically for handgun-velocity expansion, unlike some all-copper rifle bullets that need higher velocity to open reliably.

How many rounds come in a box? Each box holds 20 rounds of .40 S&W, with 10 boxes to a case.
